Sunday, April 15th

Try one of the tax day specials -
like half price drinks or slushies at Sonic Drive In On University Ave. Say it with me: Cherry Lime-Aid! How about picking up some Bruegger’s  bagles and hitting the Union Terrace? They have a coupon for a Big Bagel Bundle for $10.40 (A baker’s dozen of bagles and two tubs of cream cheese) on their facebook page HERE  

Visit the McKay Center!
Spring is EARLY this year and that  means the flowering trees are too!
It's the PERFECT weekend to hit the McKay center and check out everything from apple trees to lilacs. You can't take a picnic lunch in there but it is worth checking out - it's also a FAB backdrop for great photos of your children!
You will be dazzled by the sweet smells of nature! See more HERE

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games!

We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift.
